Coconut-Lime Cookies

If you are looking for a tasty treat, you MUST try these coconut-lime cookies - they're seriously fabulous!

You know how most people like a glass of milk with their chocolate-chip cookies? Well these cookies beg to accompanied by a margarita (not to dip the cookies in - that would be weird, but to drink in addition to).

These are the perfect treat for warmer - margarita weather! If only I didn't live so far away from a beach...

How to:
1. In a small bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
2. Using a mixer, beat together the butter and sugar until smooth and very fluffy.
3. Beat in egg, vanilla extract, lime juice and lime zest.
4. Gradually blend in the dry ingredients and coconut (toast before adding).
5. Roll rounded teaspoonfuls of dough into balls, and roll in sugar.
6. Place on lined cookie sheets about 1 1/2 inches apart.
7. Bake for 9-11 minutes at 350 degrees.
8. Let stand on cookie sheet two minutes before removing to cool on wire racks

oh man, bloglovin randomly unfollowed your blog! I just so happened to think I haven't seen anything pop up from you in a while, and typed in your address thinking maybe you were taking a relaxing week. Then I see all sorts of missed things. That makes me a little nervous, I don't want to have other blogs unfollow esp ones I won't actively remember. Ugh, anyway, I'm back! I bet the coconut is good with the lime, I don't normally like lime by itself but I think with a coconut tone too it would be pretty tasty!
